ERID-THSTI Summary of Funding Opportunities-Upcoming Deadlines-23Rd Feb 2017 1. RFA-AI-16-079-NIH, NIAID-R01-Partenership for De Summary of Funding Opportunities-Upcoming deadlines-23rd Feb 2017 1. RFA-AI-16-079-NIH, NIAID-R01-Partenership for Development of Vaccines against M.tb infection/Tuberculosis disease The objective of this FOA is to support milestone-driven research projects focused on establishing proof- of-concept for and/or preclinical development of candidate vaccines against Mtb infection and/or TB. This initiative seeks to facilitate identification of promising lead vaccine candidates and support preclinical development of established leads. For the purpose of this FOA, “candidate vaccine” is defined as a vaccine or related vaccine product (e.g. prime/boost vaccine, therapeutic vaccine, vaccine/adjuvant combinations, etc.); “lead candidate” is defined as a candidate vaccine for which proof-of-concept data have been obtained, and “preclinical development” is defined as all activities beyond lead candidate identification. http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AI-16-079.html Due date: March 02nd 2017 2. Mechanisms of Mycobacterial-Induced Immunity in HIV-Infected and Uninfected Individuals to Inform Innovative Tuberculosis Vaccine Design (R01) Application due dates: January 11, 2018; January 11, 2019 http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-16-254.html http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-AI-17-003.html (notice on the FOA) The objective of research supported in response to this funding opportunity announcement is to support innovative studies to identify and understand the immunological responses that mediate protection from Mtb infection or progression to active TB disease. Such responses may be operative in mycobacterial infection, or following vaccination with BCG or investigational vaccines. Studies elucidating the differential responses in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected individuals are of particular interest. Research supported under this funding opportunity announcement should go beyond descriptive information currently known about Mtb infection, immune responses to TB vaccines or immune modulation by non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection or by HIV/AIDS. Applications are sought that include characterization of the timing, anatomical location, and contribution to disease outcome of mucosal and/or systemic immune responses to mycobacterial infection and/or vaccination. ERID-THSTI 3. NIH-NIAID-Partnerships for the Development of Tools to Advance Therapeutic Discovery for Select Antimicrobial-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria (R01) The objective of this FOA is to support milestone-driven projects focused on developing and utilizing novel predictive models and/or research tools and assays aimed at gaining a better understanding of the rules and compound properties governing the penetration and efflux of drug-like small molecules into Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Responsive projects must focus on one or more of the following Gram-negative bacterial pathogens: carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), MDR Acinetobacter and/or MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Projects must complete assay/tool/model development prior to the end of the third year of the project period and initiate discovery activities to demonstrate its utility in supporting a corresponding medicinal chemistry program to generate a lead chemical series with demonstrated activity against one or more targeted Gram-negative bacteria. This initiative will also support subsequent preclinical development of a promising lead antibacterial. http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AI-16-081.html Due Date: May 17th 2017 4. DBT-Netherlands call for proposals on Technology for a sustainable health care- minimally invasive techniques The aim of the call for proposals is to stimulate sustainable Indian-Dutch research collaboration by funding joint research projects in the area of medical devices that have the explicit goal to contribute to a more sustainable health care either in India or in The Netherlands. The aim is to develop innovative technology for a sustainable healthcare system. We define sustainable healthcare as a high quality system that is affordable and accessible for every individual, and affordable and sufficiently staffed for society as a whole. Three strategic questions to address are: 1. How can technology support health and wellbeing of people in order to help them function and participate in society, outside of organized care? The point is to focus on health rather than healthcare. By focusing on prevention, health and wellbeing you will reduce the need for professional healthcare. 2. How can technology enable care to be delivered closer to home? In many cases it is more cost effective and better for patients to deliver care outside of care institutions. Chronic care should not be managed in hospitals. Rehabilitation should take place closer to home or even at home. 3. How can technology enable more efficient and personalized care? Technology enables us to do more with less. Technology can allow early and individualized diagnosis and prognosis, less invasive treatment and change work processes all together. Besides providing solutions to above questions, an additional goal is to stimulate the Dutch and Indian research fields of medical devices on: Minimally invasive techniques. Proposal deadline: 02nd May 2017 ERID-THSTI 5.
